THE STRATEGY OF CONFLICT
WITH A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR
THOMAS C. SCHELLING
A series of closely interrelated essays on game theory, this book deals with an area in which progress has been least satisfactorythe situations where there is a common interest as well as conflict between adversaries: negotiations, war and threats of war, criminal deterrence, extortion, tacit bargaining. It proposes enlightening similarities between, for instance, maneuvering in limited war and in a traffic jam; deterring the Russians and ones own children; the modern strategy of terror and the ancient institution of hostages.
